Top Hosting
There are various types of hosting plans suitable for different websites in terms of the system resources or the hosting platform they demand. To select the most appropriate hosting service for your web site, you have to access what server-side software it demands, how many daily hits you expect at the beginning and in the future, as well as any other specific demands that may have to be answered.
Shared Hosting - Upsides
The most optimal alternative for small sized web sites with several hundred or a few thousand viewers is a shared hosting plan. With this type of web site hosting, each user pays only for their account, which reduces the overall cost per user radically. There are diverse web hosting plans differing from one web hosting vendor to another, offering different quotas of server space and monthly traffic, different email quotas and so on. The benefit is that you can get an account that will offer the specs your website actually requires. You will not need to pay a lot of money for an account you will not use, or end up with a small size package that cannot host the site. We, at Adirondack Online Services, LLC, offer a wide assortment of hosting solutions suitable for personal or small business portals that even provide pre-activated script-driven systems like Joomla, Mambo, Drupal or WordPress - to make it simpler. If you begin with a basic package and you demand more functionalities, upgrading to a more advanced account requires only a mouse click.
Shared web hosting - Inconveniences
A shortcoming of the shared web hosting environment is that the servers have some software installed on them and you cannot install new software. Specific web sites, mainly online shops, request applications to be activated on the web hosting server for them to run, and with a shared web hosting solution, you can activate solely software applications that do not require complete root-level access.
VPS Hosting Servers and Dedicated Hosting Servers
For websites that demand complete root-level access, or if your online portal has many thousands or even millions of visitors per day, what you demand is a VPS or a dedicated server. A VPS server is a virtual imitation of a dedicated web server and it acts in strictly the same manner.
VPS Web Servers
Both solutions generally include complete root access and can be rebooted through a software platform by the client, independently from the web hosting provider. Similar to the shared website hosting packages, the VPS and the dedicated server packages have different specifications depending on what the web hosting company offers. A Virtual Private Server plan offers guaranteed data storage, RAM and CPU usage quotas that can occasionally be expanded for short stretches of time on condition that there are unused system resources on the physical server. With a dedicated server, the only limiting factor is the hardware configuration it is using, and it can be configured by altering or appending components. A virtual web server is simpler to administer as it offers a virtualization panel, which can be used to restart it, to install applications, check statistics, and so on. The management of a dedicated server is more complicated, so such a package would rather be used by proficient users.
Dedicated Web Hosting Servers
Nevertheless, some web hosting firms provide managed dedicated server web hosting services where they complete hosting server administration assignments on behalf of the customer. This can be a part of plan or an additional upgrade.
